No I get that. It's just some people that come on here don't necessarily know that. I bet there are some people that think dealers aren't allowed to charge ADM. I'm probably being overzealous on this. HAHA
hahah I guess not everyone gets how soft you can use "criminal" but yes it is in fact not illegal to over charge lol
Reporting in - I secured a C2S allocation on 3/27, and did so at MSRP, no ADM. I had been on waiting lists since I started calling around in February.
I was told that I got into the system just days before the 2024 price increase. Now, when I build my car on the configurator it is about $10k higher than what I'll be paying with 2023 MSRP pricing. I have over $33k in options.
My vehicle status is "V200" with an estimated delivery date of 6/16/23.
- I paid nothing to get on the waiting lists
- I paid a $5k deposit in person at the dealership to secure the allocation - the SA wouldn't print a copy for me, but he turned his computer screen and showed me the timelime with the dates for factory assembly and shipping - it was cool to see
Color me green (apparently a color Porsche doesn't like any longer). I've been rejected by one dealer for no trade and am on two wait lists -- one who wants "market pricing" and I'm still decently down the list, and another who will only sell at sticker and claims I'm 5 years down the list.

Congrats on the allocation and MSRP deal. Which state are you in?
If youre at V200, the order should be linked to your account and you should be able to see all of the dates on your end too on TYD.

I told my SA that I was pleasantly surprised to get the call. He said that there were a few people ahead of me on the list, but that one had already gotten some other car, and then a couple of guys didn't reply and that he gave up on them after a few business days and moved on to me. It makes me wonder if recession fears have spooked some of them and they dropped off.
It seems like the west coast dealers are still going strong with their ADMs but some of the dealers in other parts of the country are doing MSRP.
When I was exploring SoCal market a couple weeks ago (before the 2024 pricing), this is what I figured out from about a dozen dealers with current allocation or short waiting list:
S - $20k to 25k
Targa GTS - $25k
GTS - $15k to $30k
Turbo - $30k

1 offered a new pre-configured S with $10k ADM
1 dealer had over a year-long waiting list!
Find some dealers in some of the flyover states. They usually will have some random allocations that don't get filled. Porsche of Jackson has a Turbo S allocation they offered me with no ADM back in January. Porsche Perimeter here in Atlanta doesn't do ADM but they have a long wait list.

I don't see it yet under "My Porsche"... I emailed my SA and asked for the "Commission No" so that I can link it to my account.
Eureka, I found the Commission number on the papers SA had emailed me and it linked successfully! Thanks for the tip! I see it now on the map of Europe at stage 01/11.

Also pretty much everyone that is waiting is on a list at multiple dealers, so at some point these lists will get cleared a lot faster than you would otherwise expect

There was discussion on that here before and I forgot the conclusion - if you place demand orders at 5 dealers, and use the same Pcode, does PCNA deny all but the first one? Or if the buyer just spins up 5 unique Pcodes, one for each dealer, what happens to the 4 demand orders that vanish if their order finally fills at one of the dealers?

I dont think the demand order means much in terms of getting a car. It seems to be more of an order tracking tool for dealerships, and maybe Porsche uses it it forecast demand for different trims/options. Other than that Porsche is not allocating cars based on the demand orders so the dealer has to get an allocation before any demand orders even come into play.
OK, but how can you gauge real demand when people are placing demand orders at 3/4/5 dealers - I imagine no one calls back to "cancel" their demand orders when they actually get an allocation at a dealer, so the books are filled with phantom demand orders. That's why when I hear "the waiting list is knee deep", it doesn't reflect reality. I think this allocation strategy is contributing to ADMs, dealers have a false perception of how many people really want cars when everybody has orders at multiple dealers. Maybe they use this ordering model on purpose to support dealers with ADMs.

FWIW - Back in February, I had one dealer tell me that if I was on a list with an actual demand order, they couldn't place another or Porsche would cancel all of them. He mentioned that "Turbo S guys" were doing that too much.

They cant, but actual demand on a micro level is a moot point, as far as Porsche is concerned, because Porsche builds all the cars they can, and dealers are obligated to purchase all the cars allocated to them. The dealers dont care either they will try to get an ADM as long as they can.
Not sure this system is a strategy on Porsches part because the dont gain anything from ADMs and they would rather be able to fill all the demand, but the factory is running at full capacity. Also, they current situation is unprecedented outside of the GT cars.
